While the main event of UFC Vegas 28 is more than a little bit underwhelming – a pair of heavyweights coming off losses clashing for five-rounds isn’t all that appetizing – the prelims have a number of fights that should raise the eyebrows of those who pay close attention to the organization. There’s a large swathe of prospects who may not have the can’t-miss label attached to them, but certainly have high ceilings. There’s Manon Fiorot’s striking. There’s also the lanky Sean Woodson. And also the crafty Jordan Leavitt. The prelims also host several veterans who have flirted with the UFC rankings in Ilir Latifi, Francisco Trinaldo, and Montana de la Rosa. There isn’t one contest

During his time with Houston, Clark was one of many players who were part of the James Harden three creation extravaganza, with the vast majority of his work coming on standstill shooting reps. To give you an idea of how he was used during his time with Houston, 82.8 percent of his shots were catch-and-shoot threes in 2018-19, followed by a season where that number dropped to a mere 78.9 percent in 2019-20. He was almost exactly league average from deep during that second season, though half of that time was spent with the Orlando Magic, where he stuck after being waived in Houston in early January.
